Sri Lanka bowled out for 104 against Australia

According to the fresh reports from the center of Galle cricket ground, a superb five-wicket haul for Nathan Lyon - including a wicket with his very first ball - has put Australia in a leading command on day two of their opening Test against Sri Lanka.

Lyon has took 5-34 off 15 overs as Sri Lanka crumbled to be all out for 105 in their first innings at Galle, the South Australian claiming the milestone with an athletic caught and bowled to dismiss Chanaka Welegedara (1).

The 23-year-old off-spinner's display was his first five-wicket haul in his short career and is the best bowling performance on Test debut by an Australian since Jason Krejza's 8-215 in Nagpur in 2008.
